Hello and happy Tuesday. I hope all my American friends that had Monday off used the day to their advantage and enjoyed themselves. For those of you who have been following my blog, you’ll notice that I’ve done a fall, winter, and spring favorites and umm *cough* forgot about summer. Since it’s a little late for my summer favorites now, I wanted to write about my favorite products o help you transition from summer to fall.
elf Cream Eyeliner in Black: I recently bought this and it is a game changer. Prior to this, I had never used a cream eyeliner since I thought they had the same effect as a liquid eyeliner. Well they do look the same as liquid eyeliner, but are 100% easier to use. It’s super easy to get a smooth line with this and the angled brush does wonders for your wings. Some people online have complained that the brush this liner comes with is too stiff. Personally, I like that as it makes the liner super easy to apply. For $3, you can also buy a different brush if you don’t like this one.
ColourPop Eyeshadow in Nillionaire: I previously reviewed this eyeshadow, and really liked this color. This shade is a chocolate brown with gold flecks. The gold makes it perfect for summer, while the deeper shade of brown helps this little eyeshadow transition into the deeper, richer colors of autumn.
Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien: This was Sephora’s birthday present for 2015. Deemed a “Kylie Jenner” lip color, this shade is perfect for fall, but won’t look out of place when you’re sporting your summer duds for these last few 90 degree days we have left.
Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh Moisturizer: As the seasons change, some of us might be in need of a heavier moisturizer. This moisturizer will work well for average to dry skin. It will be too heavy for people with oily skin and possibly too light for some people with extreme dryness. Plus, I have a slight obsession with anti-aging moisturizers, which I’ve used on and off since I was about 14.
That’s it for me. What products are you using as we transition to autumn? Or if you’re in the other part of the world, any favorites you’re loving as you go from winter to spring? Let me know in the comments below!
That Nars pencil seems to go with everything. Glad you’re getting some use out of it!
It’s pretty nice! I like that Sephora chooses birthday gifts you’d actually want
The nars pencil looks like a great color, very hot right now.

Yes, I haven’t used it much since I got it in February, but I think now that I have this baby tan, it goes better with my complexion, lol
Oh yes, I can imagine 🙂
Love the look of that Nars lip pencil! The Nars pencils are so good! Loving the sparkly pumpkin too!
Haha, thanks! That was my big $3 Target find last October
Hahaha!
Is it okay to say that I WANT that sparkly pumpkin!? ❤
Absolutely! I think it was like $3 from Target last October. They might even have them out already. You know how some Targets have their $1-$3 items in a special section when you first walk in? That’s where I found this
Awesome picks! Nillionarie is gorgeous & Rikugien is so wearable!
Thanks! Nillionaire is definitely going to see a lot of action this fall 😀
On me the Nars pencil is a “my lips but better” color.
I’m digging out my darker shadows for fall & the coupe red-brown lipsticks I own (Rust by MUA Makeup Academy is a pretty like terra cotta shade).
I think it’s probably an MLBB shade on a lot of people. I used it the other day and it’s noticeably darker than my lips. #palegirlproblems
Love the Nars lip pencil! Also, moisturizing is SO important for my skin as we transition to cooler weather. I use a fabulous moisturizer from NYR Organics. It’s perfect! It not only moisturizes well, but also helps prevent that whole aging thing! 🙂 XOXO
That sounds fantastic! Maybe I’ll look into it the next time I need to pick up a moisturizer. XOXO, lovely!
Thanks for the reminder about the Nars Rikugien lip pencil! I have it somewhere…
The ColourPop eye shadow in Nillionnaire looks great too!
I know that feeling every time I dig through my lipstick. Always rediscovering old favorites
I can’t wait to get my Sephora birthday gift now 🙂
It’s so exciting, isn’t it? I love free items 😉
Trying to figure out what to do with that NARS pencil lol. The shade is too light on me and looks ashy and settles into all the lines on my lips! Glad someone out there got some use out of it lol. I do want to try that Colourpop shadow, though…
That sucks! If you got it as part of Sephora’s birthday gift, did the other pencil work any better for you?
Yes, the red one (can’t remember the name) works for me a lot better for me. I do love the formula of the pencils though, so I’m glad I got to try it out for free.
I liked the red one better too initially. I think the formula’s a little different, it’s a little more unique.
I need to definitely to try a cream liner. I’ve been in a sorta slump when it comes to my makeup lately. I also really want to purchase that colourpop shadow! Adorable Pumpkin!
Thank you! And definitely try a cream liner. It was such a game changer for me I’m not sure if I’ll ever go back to liquid liner
The Nars pencil is one of my favorite lip colors right now, and I’m sure I will continue to use into fall and winter.
It’s lovely!
